   I think you got the plagues a little messed up. They are Blood, Frogs, Lice/Gnats, Wild Animals, Pestilence, Boils, Hail, Locusts, Darkness, and Death of the First Born. No angel of death.

   I like my drawstring bag of plush plagues better. Some of them vibrate unpleasantly when you pull their cord!

   I doubt there will be an exodus of these off the shelves, as customers pass over these.

   Is it just me, or does "Darkness" look like a black-faced minstrel?

   Was there also a plague of clowns?

   Gail, I guess clowns represent hail. I have a feeling these are "repurposed" toys.

   I actually saw these at Meijer this spring... on the 70% off sale section.

   Tell me again...why do we need to remember?

   Larfin: it's crucial to Jewish history, which means it's also crucial to Christian history - two of the WORLD'S most widespread religions.

   Without the plagues and the leadership of Moses, the Israelites would still be slaves in Egypt.

   Also, that "dead first born son" puppet is creepy.

    Carl, the Israelites would probably have been set free by now, considering the few thousand years that have passed since that time, and the fact that Egypt is no longer ruled by the pharaohs.

    We've got the Plague of Catpoo at the moment. One cat is very elderly and during the winter we relented and let her have a litter tray. Trouble is, she's decided that even now summer's here she ain't going back to the garden.
    The kitten doesn't yet know any better and when not having hissing fights with the old cat she just follows the leader and uses the tray.
    I guess we're stuck with it until the old one pops off.
